“The physical and emotional health of an entire generation and the economic health and security of our nation is at stake. This isn’t the kind of problem that can be solved overnight, but with everyone working together, it can be solved.” Michelle Obama, Let’s Move launch announcement 2/9/2010

“Our kids didn’t do this to themselves… Kids don’t choose what’s served to them as school, and shouldn’t be deciding what’s served to them for dinner at home. And they don’t decide whether there’s time in the day or room in the budget to learn about healthy eating or to spend time playing outside.” Michelle Obama, Childhood Obesity Summit 4/9/2010
